<h4 class="subsubsection">5.1.1.2 Traditional Other Types</h4>

<p>If the upper bound of a subrange is 0 and the lower bound is positive,
the type is a floating point type, and the lower bound of the subrange
indicates the number of bytes in the type:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">.stabs &quot;float:t12=r1;4;0;&quot;,128,0,0,0
.stabs &quot;double:t13=r1;8;0;&quot;,128,0,0,0
</pre></div>

<p>However, GCC writes <code>long double</code> the same way it writes
<code>double</code>, so there is no way to distinguish.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">.stabs &quot;long double:t14=r1;8;0;&quot;,128,0,0,0
</pre></div>

<p>Complex types are defined the same way as floating-point types; there is
no way to distinguish a single-precision complex from a double-precision
floating-point type.
</p>
<p>The C <code>void</code> type is defined as itself:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">.stabs &quot;void:t15=15&quot;,128,0,0,0
</pre></div>

<p>I&rsquo;m not sure how a boolean type is represented.
